F^1(-2) = 2(-2) = -4
f(-4) = 1/2 * -4 = -2

f(f^-1(x)) = x so answer is -2

Answer: The required values are

$f^{-1}(-2)=-4,~~f(-4)=-2,~~f(f^{-1}(-2))=-2.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given a function f(x) and its inverse as follows :

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x,\\\\\\f^{-1}(x)=2x.$

We are to find the values of $f^{-1}(x),~f(-4),~f(f^{-1}(-2)).$

The values are evaluated in the following manner :

$f^{-1}(-2)=2\times(-2)=-4,\\\\\\f(-4)=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(-4)=-2,\\\\\\f(f^{-1}(-2))=f(-4)=-2.$

Thus, the required values are

$f^{-1}(-2)=-4,~~f(-4)=-2,~~f(f^{-1}(-2))=-2.$

Find the equation of the sphere passing through P(negative 4 comma 7 comma 6 )and Q(8 comma negative 3 comma 5 )with its center

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: The equation of the sphere is:

(x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 + (z-5/2)^2 = sqrt(245)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The centre of the sphere is the midpoint of the diameter, which is

1/2

[(-4,7,6) + (8,-3,5)] =(2,2,5/2)

The length of the diameter is

=sqrt |(8,-3,5) - (-4,7,6)|^2

=sqrt (12^2 + (-10)^2 + (-1)^2)

=sqrt (144+100+1)

=sqrt(245)

so the radius of

the sphere is:

1/2(sqrt(245)) = sqrt(245)/2.

The equation of the sphere is:

(x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 + (z-5/2)^2 = sqrt(245)/2

Jeremy has $1200 in spending money for the fall semester of college. He needs to purchase car insurance at $120 for 4 months, $2

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Jeremy Will have more than just $200 to spend on Christmas presents.

Explanation :

He has a total of $1200.

He spends a $120 for car insurance. (1)

He needs to spend $25 a week for lunch. He has to do this for 16 weeks so 25*16 = $400. (2)

He needs to spend $20 a week for entertainment. For 16 weeks that'll be 20*16 = $320 (3)

adding (1) (2) and (3)

We get Jeremy's total spending will be $840. Jeremy has $1200.

1200-840 = $360

So Jeremy will have $360 to spend on Christmas present.

Karen is making a set of costumes for the school play using a piece of cloth. She reduces the length of the cloth she intends to

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The new length is 13.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the new length of the cloth she wants to use

What we know from the question is that she is making a reduction of 10% from an initial of 15 meters

Thus, the length she is to use can be calculated by first getting what 10% of 15 meters is

Mathematically, that would be ;

10/100 * 15 = 1.5 meters

We now subtract this from the total of 15 meters

= 15 meters - 1.5 meters = 13.5 meters

How would i number the graph

tiny-mole [99]

Put numbers up and down the X and Y axis showing what the graph values are. (Ex: see picture ) make sure you do it accurately based on what the slope will look like.
